Evolution Interlude (feat. Lady Krush)

I spent so much time feeling unsatisfied
Unhappy, unappreciated, disrespected
I spent so much time feeling less than alive
To afraid to leave behind the time I'd invested

I kept pouring more of myself into a cup full of holes
A man too broken to receive my affection
I tried to love his flaws away
And that's how I learned love's most important lessons

You may not receive love the way you wanted it
That doesn't mean they didn't love you with all they had
Everyone loves differently
That's neither good nor bad

You can't change someone who doesn't want to change
Or keep someone who doesn't want to be kept
No matter how bravely or quietly I endure the pain
My suffering won't produce the love I expect

Growth and change is painful
But so is staying where you don't belong
When you see your worth and they do not
Staying around is simply wrong

I owe myself and apology
For allowing what I didn't deserve
Life kept repeating itself
'Cause my lesson was not learned

Realizing a problem without a solution
Is a truth to be accepted
My love is pure, my heart protected
Never again to be neglected

I deserve a partner not a project
Someone finished and polished and healed
Someone who is ready to provide me with a love
That is genuine and healthy and real

And until that kind of love finds its way to me
I'll work on being someone worth finding
I'll be stronger, wiser, I'll walk closely with God
Look, I finally understand the assignment

I'll build up my empire
I'll take care of my body
I'll speak affirmations to myself
I'm powerful and no one can stop me!

Yes, until God sends the love I've been craving
Someone who's fluent in my love language
I will be here patiently waiting
Becoming the woman God anticipated
